JWICO makes three models of Computers, model X, model Y and model Z. The selling price of model X is $700, which is 140 percent of the selling price of model Y, and 35 percent of the selling price of Z. If the manufacturer sells 210 computers, 3/7 of which are model Y, and an equal number of X and Z models, what is the total revenue from the sale of computers? A. 132,900 B. 178,500 C. 190,000 D. 207,000 E. 290,000 _________________ Senior PS Moderator Joined: 26 Feb 2016 Posts: 3334 Location: India GPA: 3.12 Re: JWICO makes three models of Computers, model X, model Y and model Z.

A. 132,900
B. 178,500
C. 190,000
D. 207,000
E. 290,000

Selling price of Model X is 140% of Model Y and the ratio of prices of X and Y are 140:100(7:5)
Since the selling price of Model X is 700$, selling price of Model Y is 500$
Similarly, the selling price of Model X is 35% the price of Model Z and the ratio-Z:Y is 100:35(20:7)
This makes the selling price of Model Z, 2000$Of the total 210 computer manufactured, 3/7*210 or 90 of the computers are of Model Y. Remaining models are 210-90 = 120 Half of these are Model X, and other half are Model Z making X=Z=60 Total revenue from the sales of computers is 60*700 + 90*500 + 60*2000 = 42000+45000+120000 = 207000(Option D) _________________ You've got what it takes, but it will take everything you've got Senior SC Moderator Joined: 22 May 2016 Posts: 2357 Re: JWICO makes three models of Computers, model X, model Y and model Z.

Fractions are better than decimals for percents in this problem

Total revenue = (Price*qty)X + (Price*qty)Y + (Price*qty)Z

Quantities:

$$\frac{3}{7}$$ of 210 are Y, rest are equally split between X and Z
$$Y = (\frac{3}{7} * 210) = 90$$
$$(210 - 90) = 120$$
$$X = Z = 60$$

Prices:

$$X$$ price = $$700$$

$$Y$$ price: $$X$$ is $$140$$ percent of $$Y$$
$$X = \frac{140}{100}Y$$
$$X =\frac{7}{5} Y$$
$$Y = \frac{5}{7} X$$
$$Y = (\frac{5}{7})(700) = 500$$

$$Z$$ price: $$X$$ is $$35$$ percent of $$Z$$
$$X =\frac{35}{100}Z$$
$$X = \frac{7}{20}Z$$
$$Z =\frac{20}{7}X$$
$$Z =(\frac{20}{7})(700)= 2,000$$

Total revenue:

$$(700)(60) + (500)(90) + (2,000)(60)$$
$$42,000 + 45,000 + 120,000 = 207,000$$
